EFCOG Packaging Initiative
• Established by EFCOG in June 2012
– Packaging Initiative working team established to make
recommendations to DOE.
– Hardware could include Type B containers, waste boxes, freight
containers, procurement activities and transport trailers.
– Guiding Concept:
� Should be the first place people would go to for their radioactive
packaging needs and the last place projects would go to
"donate" excess hardware for future use elsewhere.

Shipping Packagings as Assets
• DOE spends millions each year on packagings
• Many packagings are re-usable commodities
• Type B (certified/licensed) packagings are expensive and
may take years to procure and cost several million dollars
• Limited availability has impacted mission schedules and
performance
• Across the spectrum of packagings there are opportunities
to improve efficiency and reduce cost

Stewardship of DOEs investment in Packagings
• For simple packages and containers promote:
– Common sourcing (standard specification, GSA
procurement, shared Quality Audits, etc.)
– Reuse across the complex.
• For more specialized packages
– Formalize a clearing house for reusing “excess to current
need” packages
– Consider options for more coordinated management
(maintenance, procurement, and refurbishment) of high
value assets

Page 6Page 6Title
Information Needed to Optimize the Investment in Packagings
• Share annual accounting of the types and numbers of
packages/containers and the cost. This is often on a
project by project basis.
• Communicate the types and number currently used.
• Forecasting of future needs for certified packages.
• Identify packages (often the high value packages) that
should be properly stored for future needs.

Page 7Page 7Title
Options for High Value Assets
• Sharing of inventory and tracking information of certified
packages (as assets)?
• Share information on availability?
– Are there existing tools or options to do this at little or no
additional cost?
• Avoid creating an administrative (bureaucratic) burden?
![Page 8: Working for More Effective Packaging Management › wp-content › uploads › Wgs › Waste Management … · Working for More Effective Packaging Management Jeff England, SRNL Sydney](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042315/5f03aa9c7e708231d40a2ce9/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Page 8Page 8Title
Evaluate the Business Case
• Is there a case for investment in tracking and storing high
value packages?’
– Return to service will be demand driven by a funded user.
• What are the business options for maintenance,
refurbishing, and certifying packages?
– What are the current baseline costs for DOE?
– What is the projected return on an optimized system?
– Is there a case of centralized efforts?
– Would this be a contractor function or a procured service?

Business Case Specifics
• Establish current baseline for packaging needs:
– Procurement and leasing of packaging
– Regulatory, technical, and service support
– Central administration, planning, integration
– Records and documentation maintenance
– Facilities for storing and maintaining inventory
• Identify opportunities for optimizing DOE capability to meet
current and future packaging needs
• Maximize use of existing packaging assets, staff and facilities

EFCOG Packaging Initiative
• Team Activities
– Preparing a business case and plan for concept
implementation
– Several rounds of drafts circulated with spirited discussion and
commentary.
– Prepared a table of Complex capabilities. Several rounds of
comments and edits.
– Comprehensive inventory of Complex packaging
– Task initiated by Syd Gordon with some preliminary results.
– Effort constrained by current NNSA position

Complex-wide Inventory of Packaging
• Requested input from 20 sites and 7 vendors (total of 49
addressees) on 4/22/2013
• NNSA (NA-00-40) instructed sites to not respond to
request
• Received 6 responses (4 sites) by 6/6/2013
• Total of 33 different container types identified
• Total of 436 containers identified
• Total of 7 operating locations (in use, storage) identified

Path Forward
• Complete comprehensive Complex inventory of in-use and
staged packaging
• Identify excess or orphaned packaging and cost of
continued storage
• Identify packaging with potential for multi-site utilization
• Complete business case analysis for DOE/HQ
• Identify cost savings and efficiencies associated with
concept
• Work within EFCOG to broaden support and cost savings
